TIPS

• Using this monitor’s screen-size switching function to compress or expand the screen for commercial or public viewing in establishments like cafes or hotels may infringe on the rights of the creators, as protected by Copyright Law, so please be careful.

• When “Enlarge” is set, the screen size is xed to “WIDE” mode.

• When dual-screen display is selected, the screen size cannot be changed.

• The appearance of the original video may change if you select a screen size with a different aspect ratio than the original image (e.g. TV broadcast or video input from external equipment).

• When 4:3 video is viewed with the whole screen using the screen-size switching function of this monitor, the edge of the video may be lost or appear distorted. If you wish to respect the creator’s intentions, set the screen size to “NORMAL”.

• When playing commercial software, parts of the image (like subtitles) may be cropped. In this case select the optimal screen size using the screen-size switching function of this monitor. With some software, there may be noise or distortion at the edges of the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the software, and is not a malfunction.

• Depending on the original video size, black bands may remain at the edges of the screen.

TIPS

• “ERR” is returned when there is no relevant command or when the command cannot be used in the current state of

the monitor.

• If communication has not been established for reasons

such as a bad connection between the computer and

monitor, nothing is returned (not even ERR).

• “ERR” may be returned when a command cannot be received correctly due to interference from the surrounding

environment.

Please ensure that the system or software resends the

command if this occurs.

• If no monitor has been assigned the designated ID number

When connecting multiple monitors in a daisy chain, set the

timeout to at least the product of the monitor’s position from

the computer multiplied by 10 seconds. Example) 3rd monitor from computer: 30 seconds or longer.

• Provide an interval of 100 ms or more between the

command response and the transmission of the next command.

TIPS

• When executing ALL RESET, set the interval until the next

command is sent to at least 30 seconds.

• When turning the power on while the POWER ON DELAY

function is in use, set the interval until the next command

is sent to the POWER ON DELAY period + 10 seconds or

longer.

Advanced operation

This section explains commands for daisy chain connection.

The basic communication procedure is the same as in the

“One-to-one connection with a computer” section.

ID numbers

You can assign a unique ID number to each monitor. (See page 26.) This allows you to control a particular monitor in a daisy chain of monitors.

You can assign ID numbers either from the menu screen or from the computer using RS-232 cable.

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3ID number:

When the following commands are used, “WAIT” is returned. In this case, a value will be returned if you wait a while.

No ID number is attached to WAIT response.

• Commands which return WAIT:

1. When repeater control is used

2. When an IDSL or IDLK command is used

3. When one of the following commands is used: RSET,

POWR, RPIP

After sending one of these commands, wait at least 10

seconds before sending the next command. If there is no response, resend the command.

When RS-232C/LAN SELECT is set to LAN

U N S E L E C T E D

(0DH, 0AH)

If monitors are connected as shown above, you can execute commands like “Set the volume of the monitor with ID 4 to 20”.

When designating ID numbers for a set of monitors linked in a daisy chain, you should basically avoid any duplication of ID

numbers. ID numbers do not have to be assigned in ascending order

starting from the computer. They can also be connected as shown below.

ID number: 3 ID number: 2 ID number: 4ID number:

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)

Commands for ID control

The command examples shown on this page assume the following connection and ID number set up.

IDST ......... A monitor receiving this command sets its own ID

number in the parameter eld.

Example:

IDST0001

The ID number of this monitor is set to 1.

TIPS

001 ←

You can automatically assign ID numbers by using the IDST command with the Repeater control (see “Repeater control”

on page 38).

For example, using the command “IDST001+” automatically sets the ID numbers, as shown below.

ID number: 1 ID number: 2 ID number: 3ID number:

IDSL ........The parameter of this command sets the ID number

of the monitor. The monitor is subject to the next

command.

Example:

IDSL0002 ←

WAIT ←

OK 002 ←

VOLM0030 ←

Searching for monitor with ID number:

Found monitor with ID number: 2

Sets volume of monitor with ID number: 2 to 30.

Processing

OK response from monitor with ID

number: 2

Sets volume to 20.

The volume of the monitor with ID number: 1 (the one directly connected to the computer) is set to 20.*

* The IDSL command is effective only once, for the

immediately succeeding command.

IDLK ........

The parameter of this command sets the ID

number of the monitor. The monitor is subject to all subsequent commands.

Example:

IDLK0002 ←

WAIT ←

OK 002 ←

VOLM0030 ←

WAIT ←

Following commands are for the monitor with ID number: 2.

Searching for monitor with ID number:

Controlling the Monitor with a computer (RS-232C)

[Example]

Repeater control

This system has a function to allow setting of multiple monitors connected in a daisy chain using a single command.

This function is called repeater control. You can use Repeater

control function without assigning ID numbers.

Set 1

* If monitors are connected as shown above, you can

execute a command like “Set all monitors’ input settings to D-SUB[RGB]”.

Repeater control command

Repeater control is achieved by setting the FOURTH CHARACTER of the parameter to “+”.

Example:

VOLM030 + ←

In repeater control, responses are returned by all the

connected monitors.

If you want to determine that a value has been returned by a specic set, assign ID numbers to each monitor in advance.

When some monitors do not return their responses, the probable cause is that the monitors could not receive the command or command processing is not complete. Do not

send a new command.

Example: (When 4 monitors are connected, and

assigned ID numbers: 1 through 4)

VOLM030 +

WAIT

002

003

004 ← If 4 monitors are connected in

Set 2 Set

Sets volume of all monitors to 30.

a chain, reliable operation can

be ensured by sending a new command only after a reply has been returned by 4th (last)

monitor.

Repeater control can also be used for reading settings.

Example:

VOLM ? ? ? +

WAIT

001

TIPS

• If repeater control is used during ID designation (IDSL, IDLK), the ID designation is canceled.

Volume settings for all monitors are returned.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips.

There is no picture or sound.

• The power LED is off.

- Is power supplied to this monitor?

- Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 13.)

- Is the main power switch off? (See page 17.)

• The power LED lights orange.

- This monitor is in standby mode. Turn on the power. (See page 17.)

• The power LED ashes green.

- There is no input signal.

- Is an input mode selected that is appropriate for the input

terminal to which the cable is connected? (See page 20.)

- If any external equipment is connected, make sure the equipment is operating (playing back).

Remote control does not work.

• Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See page 15.)

• Are the batteries exhausted?

• Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote control sensor. (See page 15.)

• Is the menu display hidden or is operation disabled? (See

page 33.)

• Do the remote control numbers on the remote control unit

and on the monitor match?

Check the numbers on INFORMATION. (See page 32.)

Sound from left and right speakers is reversed.

Sound is heard from only one side.

• Are audio cables connected properly?

There is a picture but no sound.

• Is the sound muted?

• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum.

• Are audio cables connected properly?

Unstable video.

• The signal may be incompatible.

• Try the automatic screen adjustment when D-SUB[RGB] is

in use.

The video from the HDMI input terminal does not appear

properly.

• Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.

• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

47 and 48.)

The video from D-Sub input terminal does not appear

correctly.

• Is the setting for D-SUB of INPUT SELECT on the SETUP

menu correct? (See page 26.)

• Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

47 and 48.)

The video from the DisplayPort does not appear properly.

• Is the DisplayPort cable DisplayPort standard compliant? The monitor will not work with cables that are not standard

compliant.

•

Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See page 47.)

• If the monitors are connected in a daisy chain, turn off the power to all the monitors connected in a daisy chain and then turn the power on again.

Control buttons do not work. There is no picture.

• Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal operation. Turn off the main power and turn it on after waiting at least 5 seconds, and then check the operation.

The input mode changes automatically.

• When NO SIGNAL AUTO INPUT SEL. is ON and the current video signal input stops, the input mode

automatically changes to the mode of an active video

signal.

Consequently, the input mode may change even in the

following cases:

- When a computer enters standby mode.

- When video play is stopped with a playback device.

Power LED ashes red.

“STATUS [xxxx]” appears in the corner of the screen.

• Hardware has a problem. Turn off the monitor and request repair from your SHARP dealer. (When STATUS ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies

depending on the setting.)

When “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed.

• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises

excessively, the brightness of the backlight automatically

decreases in order to prevent a further temperature rise. If

you attempt to adjust the brightness while the monitor is in this state, “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed and you cannot

change the brightness.

• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

The monitor makes a cracking sound.

• You may occasionally hear a cracking sound from the monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands

and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the monitor’s performance.

The Power LED is ashing in red and green alternately. When “TEMPERATURE” is displayed in the corner of the screen.

• When the internal temperature of the monitor rises

excessively, the brightness of the backlight decreases automatically in order to prevent high-temperature-

related problems. When this occurs, “TEMPERATURE” is

displayed on the screen and the Power LED ashes red and green alternately. (When TEMPERATURE ALERT is set to OSD & LED. This varies depending on the setting.)

• If the internal temperature rises further, the monitor

automatically enters standby mode. (The Power LED continues ashing red and green alternately.)

• Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise.

- If the monitor enters standby mode due to a rise in

temperature, to return to normal display, turn the power switch off and then back on again. The monitor, however, will enter standby mode again if the cause of the

temperature rise is not eliminated. (See page 7.)

- Check whether the monitor is placed at a location where

a quick rise in temperature is likely. Internal temperature rises quickly if the vents on the monitor are blocked.

- Internal temperature rises quickly if dust accumulates

inside the monitor or around the vents. Remove dust if

possible. Ask SHARP dealer about removing internal dust.

When mounting the monitor, be sure to use a wall-mount bracket that complies with the VESA-compatible mounting method. SHARP recommends using M6 screws and tighten the screws. Note that screw hole depth of the monitor is 3/8 inch (10 mm). Loose mounting may cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. The screw and hole should come together with over 5/16 inch (8 mm) length of thread. Use a bracket which has been approved for UL1678 standard, and which can endure at least 4 times or more the weight of the monitor.

DDC (plug and play)

The monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard. DDC is a signal standard for plug and play between monitors and computers. Information about resolution and other parameters is exchanged between the two. This function can be used if the computer supports DDC and it has been congured to detect plug-and-play monitors. There are several types of DDC, depending on the communication method used. This monitor supports DDC2B.
